"Let me take a look. What are these dishes?" Zhu Yijun said.
"Let me introduce him to His Majesty." Wang Rong He excitedly said, "This is the Eight Treasures Gourd Duck. It's autumn and it's filled with waves of mist."
"Wait, what's the meaning behind the rest of the poem?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Since it's an autumn banquet to replenish His Majesty, the two of us should have a meal as well." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded, "Ducks float on the surface of the water, that's why they are covered by the Frigid Smoke Cui."
"This dried bamboo shoot steamed taro is called the autumn harvest of ten thousand seeds." Wang Ronghe said, "Taro cut a little, I hope the annual harvest is good."
"What an allegory." Zhu Yijun said.
"This is a thin slice of pork and a thin roll of beef shredded radish. After being fried, it is covered with a sweet and vinegar sauce. The color of the thin pieces of meat is cute and tender, like a chrysanthemum. Your majesty, what kind of chrysanthemum do you think it is?" Wang Rong asked.
"This bright red plate, could it be Red Sand Red Winter?" Zhu Yijun said.
"Your majesty is so smart, I really don't feel a sense of accomplishment." Wang Rong He said.
"Then I'm guessing it's Jade Phoenix Yao." Zhu Yijun said deliberately.
"Your Majesty, you're wrong. This is Scarlet Sand." Wang Rong He said, "Yao Tai Yu Feng is a mass of white, how can it be red?"
Zhu Yijun had an expression of thanks for the instruction, while Wang Rong continued with the introduction, "These are the balance between the Lake Light and the Moon."
Zhu Yijun supported his head and laughed. The golden eggshell was stuck to the plate and the prawns on it were rolling and queuing up on the eggshell. "Let us count, how many moons is there?"
"Concept, Concept." Wang Rong emphasized.
"This is Xiao Xiao sending geese away." Wang Rong said while pointing.
Sea cucumber is a flock of geese. It's a good mood and a good image." "Yes." Zhu Yijun nodded in agreement. This dish should have a resounding name. " It was a copper pot hanging from the ceiling, and beneath it was a charcoal roasting. The pot was simmering in a mess, and the sky was filled with flying plants that swam in the water.
"The fire shines in the sky and the autumn sun wins the Spring Festival." Wang Rong He said.
"How can you change the face of a poem to a new one?" Zhu Yijun said.
"Is it particularly suitable for this Hundred Ingredients Pot?" Wang Ronghe said, "Only in the autumn, when everything is in good harvest, will there be a pot like this. It is a gift from heaven to hard work for a year, and in the autumn we have to stick to the fat of autumn, so eating delicious food in the autumn can resist the cold winter."
"Mn, Zitong's words are reasonable." Zhu Yijun held back his laughter.
"Be serious, your Imperial Majesty." Wang Rong He said, "I stared at the menu and thought about how difficult it would be for me to say these words. There are plenty of people who would help Your Majesty relieve his boredom at a grand banquet. I don't want Your Majesty to see that I'm bored and unable to swallow, but I've put in a lot of effort."
"Zitong did well." Zhu Yijun said, "We can feel Zitong's sincerity."
The two of them ate six dishes and a soup. Even if the portions were exquisite, it was enough to make their stomachs slightly bulge. After the palace maid removed the table, the singing and dancing of Faculty Division also retreated. Wang Rong rubbed her belly and said, "I have to find a pill to eat."
"It's fine if you don't eat the last bit, but you must eat it all." Zhu Yijun rubbed his stomach, "You must be feeling bad."
"I'll accompany His Majesty for a walk." Wang Rong said, "I haven't walked that small path where Kunning Palace go through even once."
"Have Xu Duzhong come take a look first?" Zhu Yijun said.
"When you return after taking a walk and eating, you would feel uncomfortable. Then, you can call the Imperial Physician Xu over." Wang Rong He said.
Just like that, the two of them held hands and walked towards the Gonghou Garden. There were not many people following them, with eunuch leading the way. Wang Rong and the others did not mind meeting someone at the Gonghou Garden, but Zhu Yijun did not want to meet anyone else.
He was the Son of Heaven, and everything in his life had been meticulously prepared, but this was different from what Wang Rong had prepared today. Wang Rong's preparations weren't all that extraordinary, but traces of her meticulousness could be seen everywhere. Her meticulousness wasn't something that could be simply arranged with her mouth, and her heart was especially moved.
So empress can be like this.
"What is His Majesty thinking? Why did you suddenly reveal such an expression? " His Majesty had a smile on his face at this moment. Very suddenly, he would feel curious.
"We are thinking about when Zitong will invite us to the banquet again." Zhu Yijun said.
"Today is not the end. Does His Majesty already think of the future?" "" Wang Rong said with a smile. Your Majesty, you have so much to do, and I'm very busy managing the harem. "
"The Queen Mother never gave you any important palace duties. What are you busy with?" Zhu Yijun laughed and said, "You have been coughing for so long, and Imperial Mother has never said anything to excuse you. What are you thinking?"
"When His Majesty is not feeling well, do you ever slack off and disregard the imperial government?" Wang Rong asked.
"I am different. This is a public service." Zhu Yijun said.
"It's my duty to pay respects to the empress dowager." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun looked at her, slightly surprised that she would say such a thing. Greeting the elders, he must be extremely filial.
"I am the empress. The empress pays her respects to the empress dowager every day. Am I simply being filial? Even a filial wife can be lazy at times. Even the harshest mother-in-law would not even give her a day's rest? " Wang Yunhe said, "The Son of Heaven is the model for all the people, and the Empress is the model for all the women in the world. So the Empress has to pay daily respects to the Empress Dowager, show filial piety for her daughter-in-law, serve Her Majesty, show harmony between husband and wife, and manage the harem as a sign of housewife's kindness."
"In addition, the empress must be kind, diligent and frugal, magnanimous, tolerant, and elegant."
"As people think, Your Majesty is the best man in the world, and the Empress is the best woman in the world." Wang Rong He said, "So, Your Majesty, in order to be a good queen, I am very busy every day. Anything that I do on the throne is a public service. " Only when I am King Rong can I relax for a moment.
"I'll be tired." Zhu Yijun shook Wang Rong He's hand and lamented, he had heard a lot about the words' tens of thousands of people giving an example '. The Queen Mother said, Zhang Shuo said, and everyone said that he was the one giving an example, so he had to do what he had to, and he couldn't do anything about it. It was simply an invisible chain that bound his head.
"I'll be tired." Wang Rong He said, "According to the Queen's standard answer, I should say that because so many people view her as a believer, she has to constantly remind herself and not relax."
"What if it doesn't conform to the queen's standards?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"If you don't follow the queen's standards, I will say it." Wang Rong blinked mischievously. "You can also relax when the time is not important."
"Why is it that when bad people do a good thing, they become bad people when they put down a butcher's knife? And when good people do a bad thing, they become bad people. "Even if it's Sage Confucius or the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, how would there be such a perfect person?" Wang Rong He said. You are the Emperor and I am the Empress, but in this life, reincarnation is better than others. Besides my identity, I am also an ordinary person. It's just that you and I are in this position, and the price of our willfulness is too great, so we can only force ourselves to be saints. "
"Moreover, every move is recorded by an official. If one were to suddenly think of how they would be recorded in a history book before they die, they would probably regret it. They should have performed better back then." Wang Rong He said, "Your majesty reads history. In history, the tyrant of an unconscious monarch reads history with contempt and disdain. Do you want the descendants of thousands of years to look at you in the same way?"
"Therefore, if the great daos are not wasted, then personal virtue is up to you."
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, then laughed, "Zitong's understanding is beyond our expectations."
"After drinking today, Your Majesty, please take it as a toast." Wang Rong He raised his head and laughed.
"Zitong's words are reasonable, why do you want us to drink?" Zhu Yijun said.
"His Imperial Majesty is the closest person to me in the palace. I don't want one day, this closeness to hurt me." Wang Rong He said, "The empress is a husband and wife, and the empress is also a sovereign."
"I just want you to treat me like a husband, not like I'm king." Zhu Yijun said, "When you are Wang Rong He, I like it the most."
"…" Wang Rong smiled. Buddha heard the entire sky. "
"I have my own evidence." Zhu Yijun said.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed until they reached the Gonghou Garden. The Gonghou Garden was meticulously managed by a gardener, and there was no sign of autumn's collapse at all. Although there were fewer flowers, there were lush and verdant everywhere. Wang Rong and her brother pulled Zhu Yijun to climb the mountain and reach the pavilion at the top of the mountain. Zhu Yijun looked around and said, "Climbing to the peak in the autumn is indeed a good feeling."
"Zitong, do you remember that you were here at the time, and I listened at the foot of the mountain." Zhu Yijun said.
"Letting His Majesty listen to so many idiots can be considered letting His Majesty down." Wang Rong said with a smile.
"I'm used to listening to the music of the strings, but the Erhu is vast and has a unique flavor to it." Zhu Yijun was in high spirits. Zitong did not bring Er Hu up? I might as well have someone fetch it. "
"Your Majesty, although Erhu didn't bring it, he brought a different musical instrument. Your Majesty won't mind, I'll play a little pastoral tune for your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun smiled as he looked at her, "Zitong has prepared so many pleasant surprises for us today, but we are actually a little terrified."
Wang Rong stood by the side of the pavilion while Wuyou handed over the flute. It was a simple Xiang Fu bamboo flute, with a warm body and a pattern of tears unique to Xiang Fei Zhu. At the end, there seemed to be words carved on it, and it also hung with a long green silk ribbon. In this autumn city, the sound of the flute was faint, outlining the little shepherd boy who was walking on green outside the city gates of Su Su City. had a light footwork, for a moment he was hugging a butterfly and biting onto a grass stalk as he laid on the back of a cow.
The spring wind had the south bank of the Green River, so there was no better time than this.
The sound of the flute was gentle and trembling, as if it was bidding farewell to the shepherd boy, and followed the spring breeze to the water's edge. When he arrived at the mountain, Zhu Yijun listened carefully, and found that it was actually a flute tune modified from a fisherman's question and answer zither. Even if the flute music stopped, it would still take a long time for her to regain her senses.
"Your majesty, please excuse me." Wang Rong He said.
"With Zitong's attainments, wouldn't it mean that the people from Faculty Division are always making fun of him?" Zhu Yijun said.
"I was just bragging for fun. If we don't compare it with Faculty Division, I'm a guy who eats." Wang Rong He said.
"Those are all for craftsmanship, Zitong is fresh and refined." Zhu Yijun said.
"Because you don't have to suffer in order to be fresh and refined." Wang Rong said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun took Wang Rong's flute and looked at it closely. He could tell that it was something that had been worn for many years, and he could also see that it was being cherished and used properly. Zhu Yijun caressed the words carved at the end of the flute.
Wang Rong explained, "This is the flute my big brother made for me."
"Many years." Wang Rong He said. It was on our way to the capital, and my brother, who was famous for his flute making, thought I might learn to play the flute in the future, so he made me a flute. I was only three at the time, and it took me many years before I could play it. The flute that was learned for it. "
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Rong and said, "Zitong is indeed a person who values friendship."
"Because someone treated me with kindness." Wang Rong He said.
"The surprise preparation for today is all complete." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Your Majesty treated me well, so I prepared a surprise for you." Therefore, there was no need to bear any burdens. In this world, one could neither live nor die. Naturally, they could not owe each other money, nor could they owe each other money.
